Here for the three Cs: cards, collectibles, and cavatappi.
Hey @junkwaxhero.bsky.social, did you see who has been trying to make a comeback?
*Quick update* The account has been deactivated!

I also had been made aware of a 2nd account Mike tried to use and it's also deactivated.

Thanks to everyone who helped keep this creep from scamming anyone else.

Mike, if you make another one I'll find out. Get a job or a better hobby.✌️
If you've been interacting with this person, they're a catfish.

I hate to bear bad news, but apparently it's someone named Mike who got caught doing this on Twitter last year.

Their twitch photo (linked in their profile, can be clearly seen here)

Kristen Anne, Kristen Hale, etc...

It was a big-time hobby event in the spring of 2009 when REA sold the nicer of the two known 1915 E145 Crack Jack Advertising Posters for $152,750. The lot's description said it had never been sold before at auction, but Goober's seems to have offered it in their September 1991 catalog.

Thanks, Duo, but I've already got my children to remind me of this on a daily basis.

This is a ~ $1.00 card.

Am I missing something here? What's the point of shilling this card to 130x the actual value if no one is ever going to pay that?

Bidder profiles also suggest these accounts are / were shilling multiple Probstein auctions (some now NARU).

Here's one of the scarcest non-sport collectibles in the hobby from the Walter Johnson Candy Company, a 1930s Dick Tracy R41 set wrapper.
